In a world that is increasingly characterised by technological innovations, the Master's degree programme in Mechatronics at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences offers a forward-looking education. The programme combines the disciplines of mechanics, electronics and computer science to provide you with the skills required in modern development and design projects. The aim is to prepare students for demanding challenges in industry and research while giving them the opportunity to work creatively and in an interdisciplinary manner.
With a strong focus on practical relevance, innovative modules such as "Industry 4.0" and "Unmanned Systems" as well as close links with the regional economy, the degree programme offers optimal conditions for a successful professional future. Whether in international companies, research institutes or small and medium-sized enterprises - graduates of the Mechatronics degree programme are ideally equipped to take on responsibility in a dynamic working environment and develop solutions for complex technical challenges.
Industrialisation topics play a particularly important role in the first part of the degree programme. The modules "Industry 4.0" and "Robotics / CNC machines" are included for this purpose. This part of the programme is particularly relevant for students who want to work in industry. Topics for which Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is internationally renowned are also part of the Mechatronics degree programme. These include the modules "Unmanned Vehicles" and "Unmanned Vehicles Laboratory". Graduates can work internationally in these areas directly after graduation or continue their development at other research institutions.
The ongoing industrialisation (IoT / Industry 4.0) is increasingly drawing on networked knowledge from the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, mechanical engineering and computer science. These branches of knowledge are treated equally in the Mechatronics degree programme. The content of the course is tailored to the special features of North Thuringia, which is characterised by a large number of small and medium-sized companies. Development teams in this region are primarily looking for employees with a broad knowledge base. This knowledge is taught on the Mechatronics degree programme.
The programme is aimed at graduates of engineering bachelor's degree programmes who wish to deepen their knowledge of mechatronics and work in an interdisciplinary manner. Suitable degree programmes are Energy technology, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Electronics development, Mechatronics, Automation technology, Control technology, Robotics, Computer science, Aerospace engineering, Automobile engineering, Automotive engineering.Â
Graduates of the degree programme find employment in the automotive industry, robotics, Industry 4.0 or in research institutions. The broad-based training also qualifies graduates for management positions.
Applicants must submit the following documents:
The Mechatronics degree programme is still subject to approval. Approval from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Science and Digital Society is awaited.
Regulations applicable to the degree programme (published in the Official announcements of the HSN) and other guidelines:
Applications from international prospective students for Bachelor's and Master's programmes are submitted via uni-assist.
There, experts will check your documents and, after a successful assessment, forward them to Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, which will decide on admission.

We know that student budgets are often tight. To help you finance your studies, we provide you with the following information at BAföG helpful tips on how to apply and ensure that your application is complete. You will also find important contacts there.
We want to support and encourage particularly talented and motivated students. Under Scholarships you will find information on various scholarship programmes. There are also other funding options, such as the "StudiumThüringenPlus" start-up grant, parental funding, child benefit and the opportunity to earn your own money through a student job.
Students in continuing education programmes can find all information on the Funding opportunities.
What is the difference between studying at a University of Applied Sciences (UAS) and at a „Universität“ (university)? At our University of Applied Sciences, you will receive much more support throughout your learning process than at a traditional university. We provide self-assessment questions to help you check your understanding, offer practical exercises to deepen your knowledge, and encourage a high level of interaction in lectures and seminars. This is very different from courses with more than 300 students.
